COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for a
variety of institutional uses including a church.
DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 3
This is a pretty straight-forward request in that a church
already exists on the subject property. Currently consisting
of roughly 30,000 square feet, this application requests an
addition of a porte cochere, a new rotunda, a breezeway
connecting the main church to an existing 11,000 square foot
building to its rear, and colonnade walls for architectural
interest. In addition, minor landscaping changes and parking
alterations are being proposed for the site.
Although we generally discourage painted brick and prefer
the natural colors suggested by the CiVIC Report, in this
case we support the applicant proposal. Because there are
three existing buildings on site composed of brick veneer and
tilt wall construction, painting them all the same color will
provide unity to the entire site and better define the church
itself. Because the applicant has chosen a medium gray for
the main color with white trim, staff feels these colors will
add character to the buildings and improve the appearance of
the church facilities to the surrounding residential
neighborhood.
Additional information regarding signage is needed. For
example, the maximum height for the sign is 4 feet. The sign
exhibit suggests a height greater than 4 feet. In addition,
lighting source and sign letter details(color, font size, etc.)
need to be provided.
Presentation exhibits also indicate a variable height tapered
brick wall extending into the right of way. Plans need to be
altered to remove any wall or structural construction from the
public row.
